Biking in to work this morning, a perfectly lovely day. Took a little break at my park cut-through, and was super excited there was no wind on the normally breezy road by the oil tanks. I was plugging along at 20mph, go to make a turn, peek behind me to check for cars and see another cyclist. If they could catch up to me at that speed, I figured I should let them pass, so I slowed up a bit.
"Good morning!" (says the other cyclist)
"Well good morning, Mr. X!" (names have been changed to protect the innocent) "What are the odds?"
"I'd say they're astronomical!"
It was a friend from high school that I hadn't seen in years:eek:. At least 5, maybe more. We pulled over and chatted for a few moments, exchanged numbers, and continued on our seperate ways. So exciting to have caught up with him and to know that he's into cycling now. He and his wife apparently bike right near my house regularly. Maybe I'll have some cycling buddies now!:cool:
So who else has had a most improbable meeting while biking?
